Im a 16 year old fan living in toronto and the one time i really want to see you guys cant happen.Peolpe have to be atleast 19 to get in to casino rama,i wish they would just cut off the entertainment centre from the casino that way kids can watch concerts.Worst part is my dad already got 2 tickets for the show,i did not know about the age limit until we got the tickets and i did a little research on casino rama.I really hope you guys can come to TORONTO in the future ,im really disappointed.

Sorry you had that experience. please be aware though that this is just a fan page. We have nothing to do with the actual band we just keep up the best we can with what they are doing and what they have done and post it here.

Can’t wait to see you guys tomorrow in Charlotte. You are my favorite all time band and I haven’t seen you since 1989 on one of my first dates with my husband when you came with Oleta. I have been to hundreds of concerts and even U2 couldn’t beat that show. You guys are the best!

I have a music tab ILike on my Facebook profile page and have several of your songs in my favorite songs and videos- I buy your CD’s and downloads from amazon. com. What I was wondering is a few of your songs and videos will nolonger play fully when I launch the ILike favorites to listen. I heard it is because you have to give permission to continue. Please give permission- Mad World and Everybody Wants To Rule the World is two that will not play. I post to my profile from time to time and others share in listening. I feel this will help you sell your CD’s and downloads. Please reconsider allowing full songs to be played. You are my all time favorite band………………..Sincerely, Lynn â˜º

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a decent audio recording of Tears For Fears cover of “Billie Jean”? Roland sang it at the concert in Orlando and I was mesmerized! I have been searching everywhere, but can only find video on YouTube, and the sound quality is poor.
Thanks!

In the 80’s tears for fears recorded a song and video for a movie soundtrack and i believe it was either under a different name than tears for fears. Do you have any idea what the name of the song was or the name they recorded under. I believe it had the word “brothers” in the band title. I know I am not crazy, i remember the vido on mtv and have never seen it again or heard the song again…. This is bugging the crap out of me.. Help…

Thanks for the site. some gold found all over the place. do you know where i can find out more about Alan Griffiths. I realize people bother you about contacting the band, so I hope you don’t take this as that. Thanks again for your Alan bio posting and so much more. BTW tears was awesome in Atlantic City! Woman in chains, wow!

So, just got the 2010 double best of – why nothing off The Kings of Spain? I put this album as one of the BEST ever never mind of the Tears. Come on it should be represented there ssome great songs on it!

Just thought I’d post this to get the word out some more. I’m trying (with Curts nod of approval) to get Curt on Top Gear as the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car. (If you’re not familiar with Top Gear check out their website and of course the show!) Please pass this around and get the word out!

IÂ´m very fan of you and almost died when I knew youÂ´d be in Porto Alegre next October,on May 30th IÂ´ll the first one to buy the ticket.
Thanks for making my biggest dream come true that is watching your concert.

I am an 18 year old blind dj from Brisbane Australia. I would say that Tears for Fears are my biggest influence when it comes to playing and producing music.

Shout, in particular, is the most prominant influence relating to my passion for music. I was always aware of Shout as a kid and remember pumping it on the way home from school in year 2!

A couple of years ago I heard it again and really took notice. I was amazed at the creation of such a brilliant and undescribably overwelming piece of solid gold. This song brings out so many emotions in me, it is actually difficult to describe all. The first is where I see a crowd throwing their hands up in a club or at an outdoor festival singing at the top of their lungs. The second is when the power chord that hits on the first bar of the first verse comes in. This chord has so much emotion, it makes bluntly obvious the fact that certain things were witnessed by members of this band as children. This I do not wish to dwell on as there is no need and it is in the past.

I play this song all the time and it gives me such a positive and amazing feeling and I only have Rowland and Kurt to thank for this. I would like to thank them for giving me such fantastic ideas in production, and just with life in general. When I play I use this song as my closer almost every time and the crowds still love it. I’ve done countless bootlegs and remixes, but they never beat the original.

Thanks again guys and one day I would love to meat you guys and ask you just how you make such gold.

Does anybody (besides Roland) know what Spanish music piece was used for the “Raoul and the Kings of Spain” tour (before the band broke into its opening number, “Sorry”)?? I know it was over 15 years ago but I’m really good at lollygagging. I did ask Nick D’Virgilio at a 2001 Spock’s Beard show but he didn’t remember. Thank you!

Can anyone help me track down the various synths or patches used for Pale Shelter? Did Ian Stanley or Roland use a Fairlight or Emulator? Wondering also if they were factory presets or lifted from somewhere. I guess no one will tell me, i’m just curious about sound design…

Hi,
I’ve just gone to the Tears For Fears’ concert here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and it was amazing, you know, it’s always a dream when you go to a show of a band that you like and, after 30 years, they still mantain a technical perfection whether over instruments or vocals 99% of the time. A great great show. The only two things I’d like them to change are:
1 – Including “Laid so low (Tears roll down)” on the setlist. It’s a valuable hit that is missing;
2 – Stop Curt’s assassination of “Pale Shelter”. One of the most beautiful songs of the band, that’s the 1% of failure, some people in the front rows even asked Roland to help him singing.
But anyway this detail didn’t fade the luster of the whole live performance. I strongly recommend this show for everyone who’s still in doubt, it’s worth every little cent you spend on tickets, parking etc.
Fantastic show!

I went to the concert in Chile, and I want to know the name of the intro piece of classic music played before the preforming of “everybody wants to rule the world” I loved it I wanto know its name. Here’s the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKr3pvJIl-c

Just after that “Sowing the seeds of love” came out (1990), Virgin released a book called : “Tears For Fears – The Seeds of Love”,which contained an insight to the writingproces of the album. Does someone has a copy of this book or does anyone know a place where I could buy this book?

how are ya. I am a huge tears for fears fan and luckily got to seem them live when they played detroit in 2010 and I was wondering if there is any live full conert video out there of any of the shows on the 2010 tour. it was truly one of the best shows I have ever seen and I have seen over 280 concerts in my life . Please let me know if you have any suggestions as it would mean a lot to me. Thanks so much

I’m not sure where or when I got it, but I downloaded an MP3 of Mad World that sounds like a techno remix of the song. It’s definitely TFF singing, but I’ve been searching high and low trying to find out what album it’s from and what its correct title is. All I have it’s Mad World and it is 6:22 in length. That’s longer than the official remixes, like the “World Remix”, which I already listened to and it’s not that. Does anyone know if this was for real or was this some remix someone did and posted online claiming it was real?
Thanks.

With the death of Whitney Houston, I did consider that the homage of our idols we do in life, for he had loved and science that are the joys of the show and listen to their music invades our soul and spirit: Roland Orzabal alive, alive Curt Smith TFF how good that is among us. IN ORDER FOR YOUR RADIO CITY MUSIC OF THE TFF, we begin now the tributes. pass on this idea

It would be cool if roland had a fb page to let his fans express their feelings about how much they enjoy his music! I started listening to his music about a year ago and love his music I have to say he is my favorite! I listened to every you tube video and have since bought all his main albums. Some people would enjoy to hears his views on music and what not. It seems he also has alot of young fans who would benifit by a little bit of social media. Check out Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers who puts up bass lessons on you tube. Kids bennifit from things like this Especilly if they are intersted in learing about music. also us older fans would enjoy it! I am a 49 year old student of listening to music that I have missed out on for many years, mainly whole albums and the learning the history of them. So roland if you read this make a fb page! Check out this artist seisend.six from switzerland he reached out to gorillaz fans to introduce his music to them. He is gaining fans everyday I have been plugging his music to US radio stations to help him out! Have a listen! If anyone is interested in hearing most of rolands music check out my you tube channel twgardenia! Mucic is the language of the world! 🙂

If you plan on going to one of their concerts, just hope they fired their sound engineer. I have never heard so much bass and not any of the rest of the band. Great music to listen to on the radio. Save your money for CD’s.
